Relicense to CC-BY-SA (3.0/4.0?)

[rollerozxa]

The choice of CC-BY 4.0 for this project was short sighted as all other current documentation (Minetest engine doc/ including lua_api.txt and the Minetest Wiki) are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. We should relicense to CC-BY-SA (3.0/4.0?) so we can make use of these resources for the project.

I support this. Considering we've all read lua_api.txt, it is likely that our work already is a derivative (even if we wrote docs from scratch by reading the code, which in the long term is too inefficient). We need to be able to base our work off of lua_api.txt in a legally sound way in the future to move at a faster pace and allow PRs like https://github.com/minetest/minetest_docs/pull/49, which is not possible with the current license.

We still need explicit permission (in no particular order) from @GreenXenith, @wsor4035, @benrob0329, @Minetest-j45 and @JosiahWI (all our contributors).
